Smoked Kurpianka is a sausage-shaped cheese with a semi firm texture from Poland. It is an instant palate pleaser with its smoky, edible rind and a pleasing springy texture that melts in your mouth. The smokiness is mild with a touch of garlic which complements this tasty cow's milk cheese. If you love smoked cheese try this new addition as a change from the usual smoked cheeses from Holland, Spain, and Germany.

We tried this cheese based on some of the reviews and it was not to our liking at all. The texture was rubbery and we would not order it again.

YUM!

Best smoked cheese I've ever tasted.

Smokylicious!

This is a deliciously soft, smoky cheese. Children would love this. Gently warmed on a piece fresh bread and a slice of salami...well, it is a perfect snack.

Delicious

This smoked cheese is delectable. the smoke flavor is subtle and permeates the entire cheese. Other smoked cheeses have a strong smoked flavor by the rind and too mild in the center. This cheese's flavor stays consistent throughout the form. Truly delicious.

Good balance of smoke and chesse flavor

I took this cheese to work and eveyone loved it. They said the smoke flavor was just enough and did not overpower the taste of the cheese.

I like it

It's ok, but very rubbery. The bouquet and taste make up for that however.

Funky and delightful

This is one of the few instances when calling a cheese rubbery is a compliment. It is not overpoweringly strong but it has lots of personality and should appeal to many who try it, including children. Kurpianka is a fun cheese to eat, not pretentious, and only a snob would look down his/her nose at it.

if i was a mouse, i'd be a glutton mouse

I bought this on the recommendation from another reviewer, the one that said he eats it while he surfs the net. The first time I ate this cheese I think I lost my mind. I love smoked foods and wish the smoked salmon had not been out of stock at the time I purchased it. Of the 1.5 pounds, I probably ate 2/3s of it by myself. If I were a mouse, I'd be a glutton mouse if I came across this cheese. Stores well and has a good shelf life. Will definitely be buying this again, but not often as I will devour it and surely that can't be good for my health.

SO GOOD

The cheese is awesome on it's own. Just slice and enjoy it with just about anything.

Great Cheese for snaking

I have tried numerous smoked cheeses and like this one as well or better than bruder basil. It has a nice smoky taste, a flavorful rind, and a hint of salt. a great cheese to eat while reading a book or watching a movie.
